The product is a soft, comfortable, and warm layering piece or standalone top for cool weather. Customers praise its flattering fit, versatility, and durability, with some owning the same shirts for years. However, some have experienced issues with the shirts shrinking after washing, even when following care instructions. Recommendations include sizing up to account for potential shrinkage and avoiding the dryer to preserve the fit and length.
I sized up to XL and it fit generously the way I wanted. I am 5'6 and weigh 147. Then I washed and dried it in the dryer. It came out a Medium Crop Top. So I wet it and stretch

It's a very well-made, stylish and comfortable shirt. I ordered it in February on a sale and just got it in June, so the true test will come when cold weather comes around again.

I have bought these shirts in all the colors. I am saddened that they are down to 3 colors. I hope they get this in a pink and bring back the red, too.

Nice Henley
Fit: True to size
I love the Henley style and was looking for one in white for Spring. This one is just right for me. I like the fit and I can wear it with jeans or slacks, if I want to be dressier.
